PREPARATIONS FOR
INSTALLATION

FOR
INSTALLATION
CONNECTORS AND CABLES
Before connecting your system consider where you will place the
speakers in the room. This is particularly important if you are
wall mounting the centre or surround loudspeakers.
Stereo systems require two lengths of two core cable. 5.1 and
7.1 installations require 5 and 7 lengths respectively.The cables
connecting the Front loudspeakers should be the same length
and the cables connecting the Surround (and Rear) speakers
should also be of equal length. We suggest you use audio cable
and not general purpose bell or zip wire.
VR-10 SUBWOOFER:
Place a soft cloth on the floor to protect the speaker. Invert the
loudspeaker and place it on the cloth.

PLACEMENT
Although the unit may be placed almost
anywhere in the room, we recommend that is
placed in front of the listener central to the
listening position. There should be a mains
outlet within easy reach.
The bass port is mounted under the subwoofer
firing downward and moves a lot of air at high
volume, so make sure the floor is sound. The
subwoofer is front-firing so do not place it
behind surfaces or objects that may rattle.

As the ear is unable to detect the direction from which deep bass
originates, this allows freedom in positioning the subwoofer.
Varying the distance from the wall alters the amount of bass.
Some prefer to place the subwoofer against a room corner. This
arrangement gives more bass at the possible expense of clarity.
LOUDSPEAKER SIZES
Many digital AV processors require you to specify the size of
speakers in the various channels. These are usually Large or
Small. We recommend that you set the centre and surround
speakers to 'Small'. This will direct all the bass in the system to
the subwoofer and provide clean, deep and louder bass.
FINE TUNING
Switch on the subwoofer power switch. Check that the power
indicator on the front of the cabinet glows. Now switch on the
system. Play a programme with extended bass and set the
system volume to a reasonable level. Adjust the subwoofer
volume control to produce the desired level of bass.
Set the VR-50, 100 and 200 to Small The VR-400 should be set
to Large. We recommend the VR-300 be set to Large though
if the bass is excessive, you may wish to set it to Small.
Set the Subwoofer option on the processor to 'On or 'Yes'.
SETTING LEVELS
Once the loudspeaker settings have been finalised, put the AV
amplifier into its Test mode (see your processor instructions),
Adjust the levels until all channels are equally loud.
You may need to adjust the subwoofer output level. Avoid
setting too high a level or you will swamp the sound with bass
which be tiring to listen to and may limit the subwoofers ability
to respond to large bass transients. Set a sensible level going
into the subwoofer. The subwoofer volume control should be
between 12 oclock and 3 oclock .

If you play the speakers with the grilles off exercise great care.
NEVER touch the drive units which are easily damaged.
The loudspeaker cabinets can be cleaned with a damp cloth or
with a spray furniture polish and a soft cloth. Apply the spray
sparingly to the cloth and then polish the cabinet. Never apply
spray directly to the cabinet.
